Always a funny begger... :cool:

Depends if you like cheese or not

DS1 off school today so I'm missing college and respiration (which I hate doing but I should really learn). DS2 off too school shortly and Amber is still in bed.

Bad night between DS1 up and down ill and Amber too. She wasn't sick just very very snotty and wanting cuddles every hour. Yet, when I took her in next to me she just wanted to play with my nose.

ETA, hi aless!

Also, not sure if anyone can help but how on earth do I go about finding a babysitter during the day?? I have a couple bits I need to attend over the next couple of weeks and DH just doesn't have the time off. Everything I can find is all about evening/weekend babysitting .

You're a good woman SS, all those people who say otherwise have it wrong and I shall tell them.

Was going to say something else but I forget what, have been ironing shirt with toddler crawling between my legs balancing things on my toes, it's almost Extreme Ironing

Edit: Tia, you feed me the lines, I just use them

Morning all... Hubby woke me up to tell me he wasn't going to work today so I got up with the girls, got them breakfast and dressed them both... Then he appeared in his shirt to tell me he'd changed his mind and he was off... Seems he just needed a big pooh to feel better...

Got the midwife in an hour... My friend is kindly picking me up from there to take me to toddlers which is great, I was going to catch the bus from the Drs to the church but there's no option for that on the way home, just a 25min walk so at least I know with my car seat in her car she'll be giving us a lift home...

Well thank you Bruno, but who's been saying otherwise?! Have there been ... PMs?

I take care of the crawling monster by not ironing. It makes things much safer.

We're off to Lollihop today with a friend and her three much bigger boys. I hope she isn't expecting to sit in the cafe the whole time! And I can't find anywhere that says they have lockers, I don't want to be toting my massive mummy handbag everywhere.

Edit: Aless on the occasions I've needed one I've just asked on my FB and a friend has offered. I normally buy lunch or give wine in exchange.

Have you looked on your local Netmums? There's been a few students studying nursing/midwife/child development offering babysitting on our local one, who would be able to do daytime

Or when I had Millie I had a local childminder who couldn't have taken her full days cos she didn't have the space but she did have space for a few hours here and there because some of the other kids she looked after were only before or after school/preschool.

MM - I've put an ad on Netmums but not had any replies! Good idea about childminders...maybe I should try phoning a few to see if they'd do ad hoc babysitting?
